This blog is about our adventures, whether day-to-day adventures around town, trips to farther lands or our journeys through books. As an avid reader I wanted a blog title to give credit to my literary roots. In the 9th grade I read Steinbeck's "Travels with Charlie." While I'm actually not much of a Steinbeck fan, or that book in particular, the title I used in homage to it just seems to fit my lifestyle.

The Family

If one thing is for certain living in a college town it's that there is never a shortage of sporting events.

Last Sunday we spent the afternoon at the baseball game.

Today, Mattie and I, along with my grandmother, watched the softball team pulverize the opponent.

We started the game in the sun, but as the shade moved and the wind picked up we were icy cold. Luckily, some nearby folks had blankets to share. I've got to find the one Mattie had. It has a hood and places to tuck in hands.

Even as I type this, surrounded by quiet tucked into a cozy bed, Matt and Jack are at the arena for the men's basketball game.

The kids celebrated Valentine's Day this past week with a group of friends from art class. I was too busy serving up chicken nuggets to stop and take pictures of the actual party. Here's what I did manage to snap a few shots of:

About Me

I'm a Christian, wife, mother, professor, avid reader and travel lover just trying to walk the path God has set before me.

The Hubby

This man is one kind-hearted, patient soul. I couldn't ask for a better person to travel through this life with.He's a great daddy and wonderful husband.

The Boy

Here's my handsome first born. He's taught me so much about life, myself and motherhood. He's wide open at home, but is introverted and quiet around others. He loves anything to do with sharks, dinosaurs, presidents, art and right now, Egypt.

The Little Girl

This little girl, or Boopsie as she is known around here, is a bundle of joy. She has the cutest personality and is a chatter box. She is dearly loved by her brother, who I think is her favorite, and has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives.
